Your the one that started insulting. What was that about choosing battles wisely. Perhaps you should find someone else to harass.

So, in all your travels you've never encountered the Socratic method of arriving at the truth? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method And, naturally, getting straight answers is so important to you that you respond with a sarcastic answer like the one above. Your error here has negated everything Christ came to do. How? God works in absolutes, you've absolutely obeyed the law or you didn't. You absolutely stole or you didn't. Anything less and Christ could have used that loophole to get out of having to fulfill the Law. Christ for example could have stolen all the silver from the tabernacle. "Well, all things belong to God and I'm the son of God, so its not really stealing..." Or to use your loophole, all Christ had to do was pick people who would not report his disobedience of the law to the authorities.

Well, ya see, guys, here's how it works...Stealing a car is illegal. If you get caught, ya got big problems. BUT (the obligatory big but) if you are stealing the car so you can get to the PFAL class, it's okay. Just ask any judge. They'll tell ya.

I agree with you: ideas are often recycled. I say recycled because you are free to use ideas of someone else as you see fit. Ideas are not copyrighted. Romeo and Juliet and West Side Story are basically the same idea. How many versions of Dickens A Christmas Story will we see on sitcoms this yule season? However, "line by line and word by word" copying is a no-no. This is the type of stealing Saint Vic did. Saint Vic not only stole paragraphs, but often whole sections of anothers work. That's known as theft and plagiarism Below are links showing how Saint Vic stole others works: http://www.empirenet.com/~messiah7/vp_stolenrthst.htm

Sorry. My misinterpretation. I thought GoldStar had written a book. I have Penworks book.

I'll leave you with this article, as well. HERE

It was never going to go far, no matter what forum it's in. As you can see, people found it and posted on it. So why complain?

After thinking about one poster’s recent attempt at revising history...or was it creative writing....I dunno - whatever the he11 you want to call his perspective on PFAL ‘77 - - I thought I’d give it a try and will employ a great technique I learned from the “master “ himself by plagiarizing a little bit from the gospel crucifixion account: It was about the ninth session, and the whole mess was plodding along like it always did - and there was darkness over the whole class like it was in the beginning with audio and Beta tapes. wierwille said to himself “ i am finished - ain’t no way I can pull this off again” ; then he cried in a loud voice “I thirst!” - and immediately one of his assistants refilled his cup with Drambuie. looking down from the double-cross he liked to pull on his adoring fans he said “my peeps, behold thy teacher.” Then one of the ordained who stood guard, shook his head and said to himself “this truly is a waste of time.”
